A type of modified stem or root, consisting of enlarged subterranean storage tissue Potato tubers are stem tissue which have nodes, or "eyes", from which whole plants are propagated Sweet potato tubers have similar nodal structures but are actually root, not stem, tissue
A tuber is the swollen underground stem of particular types of plants. a round swollen part on the stem of some plants, such as the potato, that grows below the ground and from which new plants grow. Short, thickened, mostly underground stem that constitutes the resting stage of certain seed plants. It is often an organ of food storage, reproduction, or both. It bears minute scale leaves, each with a bud that has the potential for developing into a new plant. The common potato is a typical tuber; the much-reduced leaves and associated buds form its "eyes." The term is also used imprecisely but widely for fleshy roots or rhizomes that resemble tubers (e.g., the "tuber" of the dahlia, actually a tuberous root)
